PM Carney's Master Plan to Solve Canada's NATO Problem
Is there a connection between Canada’s NATO commitments and building pipelines? Prime Minister Carney has committed to 2% of Canada’s GDP on military and defense spending, with a potential hike to 5% on the horizon. So, from the perspective of you and me, as part-owners of Canada, how are we going to pay for it? It looks like Prime Minister Carney has a plan for that, and is eyeing a new pipeline in hopes of opening up the sale of our resources to European markets, thus injecting Canada’s economy with more cashflow to offset increased military and defense spendi...

The 51st State: Trump Wants Our Minerals and Water, Canada Must Stand On Guard
Why is US President Donald Trump so obsessed with the idea of Canada becoming “the 51st state”? The American president is being manipulated by billionaires to exploit Canada’s natural resources, of course. Frankly, I don’t think Donald is smart enough to have an endgame in mind, but he is surrounded by rich industry bros with brains and private interests.

After their seemingly idyllic meeting with Prime Minister Carney, do some of the Premiers need a reality check? Prime Minister Carney’s “nation-building wish list” meeting with the Premiers this week went overwhelmingly well, with some premiers expressing optimism and offering enthusiastic praise of Carney for setting the right tone. However, based on their comments, I get the sense that some of this optimism may be steeped in naivety.
